MY HAIR IS FALLING OUT!

AGH! I am almost 3 months out and I'm losing my hair!!!! I knew it was possible, but....ACH! I get my 60 grams that my doc and dietician recommended but it still is coming out! Every day there is more and more in the drain after my shower. I'm a natural blonde so I have thin, fine hair anyway and I don't have any to spare! I bought some thickening shampoo today and got it trimmed to make it less noticeable but what can I do to stop this from happening in the first place? And while I'm asking questions, if I have to lose my hair, why can't it be from somewhere useful, like my legs or where I get my eyebrows waxed? What do you guys think? Anyone else have this going on?

My hair has been falling out too. Doc said not to panic, it would grow back.I'd be a happy bunny if I only the grey ones fell out, oh, and my leg hair can go too. :-)

Your hair falls out during the more rapid weight loss phase and the hair loss tapers off as your weight loss slows down, so think of this as a positive thing, that is associated with weight loss. Enjoy the ride!

I've lost about 1/3 of my thickness- I'm 7.5 months out and I'm FINALLY starting to see if slowing down. My cousin lost from month 3-9. And now at 18 months post op is starting to have normal hair again :).

Mine too by the handfuls
